new impactite layer, I think that there is going to be
a large market for them, including but not only for
classroom use.
I don't know if a small plastic box with a magnifier
built into its lid (fresnel? or ordinary) could
provide
As most of you are aware, I have been doing a lot of research
on meteories that hit things. I have done pretty well getting
photos of struck buildings, etc, and where I haven't, I have usually

The specimen might as well be a serpentinite or rather a highly
serpentinized peridotite, especially since it is slightly magnetic.
Serpentinites usually contain minor amounts of iron oxides. However,
it's very hard to judge from a picture. If the specimen exhibits
